Dear @SadiqKhan

You expressed anger property in Judea was being advertised to Jews - saying it should not be allowed.

Here are adverts on two @TfL buses.
1. Company that sells property in occupied Western Sahara.
2. Land exploitation of oppressed Baloch people.

Any comment?

Somebody has to be the richest person on the planet.

The fact that it’s the guy who popularized electric cars, made rockets reusable, and is working on curing blindness and paraplegia as a side quest seems fair to me.

@visegrad24 Wouldn’t hire a single one of these graduates. Not because of their views on Palestine. But because they don’t respect different viewpoints and will be cancerous to their teams.

.@BernieSanders , it is a time to celebrate. @elonmusk has created enormous value for society by building @SpaceX, driving down the cost of rocket launches and creating a global satellite communication network that has brought high speed, low-cost internet and communication access to hundreds of millions and eventually billions of people along with critical advantages for our military and our nation’s defense.

SpaceX and its technologies will cause an acceleration in the growth of wages and wealth creation globally, including in some of the poorest communities in the U.S. and around the world.

Access to low-cost, high speed communications everywhere will allow children around the world to be educated, families to build businesses, and life-saving medical knowledge and care to be available everywhere.

SpaceX will materially bring down the cost of compute, advancing AI and humanity.

Meanwhile, 4,000 SpaceX employees yesterday became millionaires, including hourly wage employees who you claim you are trying to help.

The Elon Musks of the world drive growth, global GDP, and provide access to goods and services at lower cost that would otherwise not exist.

Elon’s nominal trillionaire status is due to his ownership of SpaceX, Tesla, Neuralink, the Boring Company and his other initiatives that have brought new technologies that improve our everyday lives.

Elon is not sitting on a trillion dollar pile of cash, jewelry and gold. He is using his controlling stakes in his companies to advance mankind. Elon’s companies don’t pay dividends. They reinvest all of their capital to accelerate innovation and value creation.

Elon is working 24/7 for all of us. He deserves respect and appreciation, not smears.

Bernie, your socialism would never allow a SpaceX to be built. Socialism has only proven to impoverish mankind and lead to death and destruction.

We need to create the conditions for more SpaceXs to be built, not attack the great entrepreneurs who are helping to advance our country.

(1) If you are obsessed with another person's wealth, you are a loser.

(2) Do not spend time with people who think like that. Spend time with productive people whose brains never entertain such juvenile thoughts.

(3) Instead, you should have a feeling of gratitude for what you do have, which would have astonished literally everyone who ever lived in every other time and place.

(4) For one thing, for all the complaints we may have about our food supply, your diet is not limited to bread, porridge, cabbage, onions, and turnips, with very occasional meat. Instead, you have a varied and nourishing diet. You have citrus, too, and scurvy is unknown. You don't worry about seasonal starvation every year, or food spoilage. You can drink clean water instead of ale. You have fresh produce in winter.

(5) Likewise, your child's life is not at risk if he breaks his leg or has a tooth abscess. For that matter, you don't have to endure medieval dentistry.

(6) Transportation you can forget about. Before the market brought mass production to the population, you walked. You had no maps. Even our poorest people use modes of transportation that would have astonished people in previous ages.

(7) You probably like having toilets rather than chamber pots and outhouses, not to mention showers, clean water, soap that doesn't burn, deodorant, and toothpaste. Even the poor have eyeglasses, beds with mattresses, lighting at night, heat at the turn of a dial, and instant communication.

(8) You probably prefer not to have a single-room hut made of wattle and daub, with no insulation, no chimney (smoke escaped through a hole in the roof, slowly), an open hearth (which contributed to respiratory problems), a dirt floor, a thatched roof that often leaked and attracted vermin, and a shared sleeping space for everyone, often including livestock.

(9) In the old days -- in other words, all of human history -- you would have had at most two outfits, you would have dealt with course wool and linen that were itchy, heavy, and hard to clean: laundry would have been done by hand with lye, which destroyed fabric (and wasn't good for the skin, either). For footwear you may have had wooden clogs but would sometimes have gone barefoot.

(10) We can go on and on like this. Yes, of course we want even more wealth for everyone, and yes, we want to repeal everything the government and the Fed (socialists are weirdly quiet about the Fed, which is the actual exploiter they pretend capitalists are) are doing that makes housing and other things more expensive: economist Bryan Caplan says repeal of regulations alone would cut housing prices by half in many places.

(11) But for heaven's sake, how deranged and psychotic and ungrateful for our ancestors and their institutions would we have to be when, living in a way that literally every single person (even kings and queens, who had to shit in a pot) who ever lived would have envied and scarcely even believed, we're instead concerned about some people having more?

(12) The only thing -- the absolute only thing -- that makes this phenomenon possible, the only thing that allows us to live at this level and even conceive of improving it, is capital accumulation, the very thing "Diana Moreno" works day and night to undermine or destroy.

(13) "Diana Moreno" thinks we should liquidate Elon's holdings and send everyone a check for $12.

(14) She would look at a pile of seed corn and be furious that the capitalists didn't want to distribute it for consumption purposes. "I could feed lots of people with this seed corn," we can hear "Diana Moreno" saying as she destroys civilization.

(15) Richard Tawney's description of Luther is apt here: "Confronted with the complexities of foreign trade and financial organizations, he is like a savage introduced to a dynamo or a steam engine."

one thing that irks me about modern cinema is that everyone looks like they live in an airbnb or hotel none of that shit feels like a lived in home but throw on the most random 90s movie and you won't have any doubt that a character has spent most of their life in that apartment

This is awful. The last ever Denby Pottery going to the kiln. Why is there not uproar? Where’s the government in this?? We all have Denby in our homes, in family heirlooms, as our history and now it’s closing through lack of support, such a sad sad day. #SaveDenby @denbypottery

For all the parents out there dealing with a decision... let me give you another perspective

In 2018 my wife and I went in for our 20? week ultra sound at Beth Israel in Boston... the rep was very quiet the whole time, something seemed off. My wife & I were first time parents... didn't have much context. The doctor pulled us into her office and told us our sons nuchal fold was abnormally large... she went on to say there is a significant increased chance of Down Syndrome and even Turner's syndrome... talked about options to terminate the pregnancy. My wife was inconsolable, rightly so ... even thinking about it now brings back a lot of heavy emotions because of how hard of a day it was... hard...

I did a lot of research on the topic ... my wife & I prayed non stop about it. All we could do. The doctors wanted to do an amniocentesis which has its own host of risks..run more tests...

We came to the conclusion, which was not easy... it didn't matter... no amnio, no more tests.... I felt in my soul the Lord's plan was perfect and if our son was going to have Down Syndrome we would love him and shepherd him through this world the best we could. We get what we get. Anything from the Lord was a BLESSING and I was not going to point my finger at Him

Fast forward to today... our son is going to be 8 in the fall. He is perfect. Just hit a homerun the other day... a much better baseball player than I was at his age. My best friend

I share this deeply personal story for nothing more than to give just ONE parent hope... the Lord's plan is perfect... stay the course

[Lila Rose @LilaGraceRose]

In a world that destroys children with Down syndrome, listen to this brave girl:

“You can try to kill off everyone with Down syndrome by using abortion, but you won’t be any closer to a perfect society. You will just be closer to a cruel, heartless one."

[S Sebag Montefiore @simonmontefiore]

This matters.
An obscure London event on the history of the ancient Jewish kingdoms in Judea and Israel is cancelled because of ‘security concerns’ and it turns out this was a reaction to a campaign to fill and then undermine the event by activist disrupters.
How strange! Why would a posse of aggressive activists be interested in the arcane details of bullae and steles and ostraca and inscriptions and numismatics in some small South Levantine kingdoms in the Iron Age?
Well, it is a little more than that which is why it is both disturbing and important. And it matters because at its least it is a threat to history in Britain’s - but also the world’s - greatest temple of History @britishmuseum - and its scholarly integrity.
The BM and its leadership are decent and well-meaning and have explained that they wished to save an event from disruption by bullying vandals but I am sure the BM realizes it is essential to announce a new event fast lest it give the impression that the permission of tiny cadres of aggressive bullies are required before it hold events. But the significance is wider than an event about the Moab and Tel Dan steles in a great museum.
British cultural life is the right and exercise of civic and cultural freedom – a privilege of our liberal democracy - that does not require the permission of gangs of ideological activists nor can it cancelled or postponed nor endured at their beck and sufferance nor permitted with a bend of the knee to their permissions or veto. But that is what this appears to be.
Across the cultural world in the West, though the bewildered middleaged managers of our institutions that are confronting and often submitting to a wave of self-righteous blackmail and mob threat, there is an increasingly thin – indeed ever more fragile and sometimes nigh invisible – line between ‘security concerns’ – and institutional pusillanimity.
Then there is the history itself.
This event concerns the study of the ancient kingdoms of Judah and Israel that existed between roughly 1100BC and 586BCin the Levant. It is not a coincidence that this was chosen for disruption. The history of the Judean kingdoms and the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem that stood for most of the time between 1000BC and 70ADetc is important and fascinating history in its own right, supported by complex and growing archaeological finds.
These small kingdoms and the subsequent Temple priestly mini-state (restored by the Persian kings Cyrus and Darius 539BC) and then the larger Judean kingdoms of the Hasmoneans and Herodians – between 167BC and 135AD chronicle the long indigenous history of Jews in the region – which the protesters are keen to erase. This is a political project of ideological erasure and malicious incitement of course concerned with the complex, brutal Israel-Palestine conflict that has now gone on for a hundred years and is unlikely to be solved in a small lecture theatre in the British Museum. But it also attempts to deny or erase Jewish history itself – and by implication the heritage of British Jews who live here in Britain, a small community that is now under cultural and sometimes physical threat.
Incidentally - but it is worth saying, this history does not deny anyone else’s history, nor the many other small realms in this region through ancient times nor the many names of the region and its entities and the historical origins of those names (Canaan, or Philistia or Peleset, Phoenicia, Aram Damascus or Moab or later Nabatea and the provinces of Palaestina Prime, Seconda and Tertia and the Ghassanid kingdoms and so on etc etc). The history of one can not be used to erase the history of the other and does not need to do so. The pursuit of knowledge which is one of the delights of human life and is the mission of the BM and indeed anyone who writes, reads or enjoys history, can celebrate and recognize all of these.
Yet this protest and the many like it deployed across Britain nowadays is the opposite of that - an attack on history using the methods of intimidation and vandalism. Much of this involves distorting or dismantling actual history or often lying to replace it with a fabricated ideological structure that nourishes no one and helps no one but degrades our culture and civic life not to speak of history itself. By the way, the frequent claims that these histories or names are ‘denied’ or ‘noone knows them’ is nonsense: anyone and everyone who is interested knows this history. (Much of it appears for example in my book Jerusalem a history of the Holy Land.)
And this is relevant not just to those of us who write study or enjoy the history of the region but also to those who believe that cultural life and civic society is a right that must not be submitted to the aggressions and plots of loud well-organized much-indulged ideologues who take advantage of the freedoms of our society to undermine its principles and the very freedoms they are designed to guard.
Just as vital is a rule of history itself that concerrns the rise and fall of civilizations: the society that ceases to allow to free discussion of ideas and stops respecting and recognizing the value of scientific and historical sources and facts is a society that will fail.

The strongest red flag was when leftists lost the ability to be funny. Comedy relies on subverting expectations to expose truth. Leftism subverts the truth to peddle lies. That’s why they can’t be funny, they can’t reveal the truth, their entire politics depends on concealing it.

I can’t wrap my head around how when the topic of English women being r*ped is brought up we can’t just say …

“This is wrong how do we fix this”

Instead everyone wants to dance around the topic mentioning white men statistics, ethnicity , Islamophobia, racism, DEI , multiculturalism and rainbows

I truly love how the Mamdani Nakba video backfired and uncovered every lie possible.

It accidentally highlighted everything “Palestinians” are trying to hide:

- Stolen history - Jewish travel poster
- Fake claim to the land - Bosnian origin
- Voluntary move to a town nearby without persecution or violence
- Full ability to visit Israel thanks to American/English passports
- Engineered narrative - no one used the word Zionists back then
- The survivor lie - Nakba had a 99% survival rate. To compare, the Holocaust had a 30% survival rate.

Brilliantly backfired.

Thank you @NYCMayor @oliviaLbecker
